    I think the dream has become so far off and unachievable that the material representations of it (houses, cars, parties) replace the actual goal itself. We’ve put the cart so far in front of the horse that we’ve forgotten the actual purpose of the cart.

      Well, and I would say even basic necessities have become so far out of reach that they replace the dreams. People long for not being victims of scams and predators, a place to exist without cost, food, and safety.
